AGREEMENT


 


THIS AGREEMENT is made
as of the 30th day of December 2016 (the “Effective Date”), by and among SurePure, Inc., a corporation formed under
the laws of the State of Nevada, United States of America (the “Company”), SurePure Operations AG., a corporation formed
under the laws of Switzerland (Registration number CH-170.3.031.362-7) (“SPOAG”), and Guy Kebble (the “Consultant”).


 


WHEREAS, SPOAG has
employed the Consultant as a consultant beginning February 1, 2010;


 


WHEREAS, the Consultant
is owed by SPOAG the amount of US$73,365.77 and ZAR788,433.30 (approximately US$ 55,838.05) of fees for services performed as of
30 December 2016;


 





WHEREAS, the Company
desires to assume and novate certain obligations of SPOAG to pay the Consultant his fees and to discharge such obligations to the
extent so assumed by issuing 1,076,699 shares of its Common Stock, par value $0.001 to the Consultant in exchange for a full and
complete release of any and all claims the Consultant may have against SPOAG and the Company for $129,203.82 of fees owed at the
current time; and


 


WHEREAS, the Consultant
desires to accept the Shares as full payment for $129,203.82 of SPOAG fees that are owed to him at the current time,


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual premises set forth below, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:


 


1. (a) The Company
assumes the obligations of SPOAG to pay the Consultant to the extent of $129,203.82 of fees owed to him. The Consultant hereby
agrees to such assumption by the Company and agrees to look solely to the Company for the payment of such $129,203.82.


 


2. The Company
will issue the Shares to the Consultant, and the Consultant will accept the Shares, as payment in full of all obligations owing
to the Consultant under Section 1. The Company will issue and deliver the Shares to the Consultant within 15 business days after
the date on which all parties have executed this Agreement (the date on which all parties have executed this Agreement being defined
as the “Effective Date”).


 


3. The Consultant
acknowledges that under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”),
the Shares are “restricted securities” and, unless the resale of the Shares has been registered with the Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Shares may not be resold in any transaction
which involves (i) any “U.S. Person” (as defined by the rules of the Commission) or (ii) any means of commerce connected
to the United States of America. Therefore, the Consultant will not sell, assign or transfer any of the Shares (i) without the
prior written consent of the Company or (ii) except in a transaction which has been notified to the Company and does not involve
any “U.S. Person” (as defined by the rules of the Commission) or any means of commerce connected to the United States
of America. No Shares shall be pledged, assigned by way of security or otherwise used as security and shall remain free and clear
of any liens, encumbrances, charges or any other third party rights.


 






     


     


    

 


4. In light of
the foregoing restrictions set forth in Section 3, if at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date the Company
shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) relating
to an offering for its own account or a resale offering by any of its stockholders under the Securities Act of any of its equity
securities (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating
to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable
in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans), then the Company shall include all of the
Shares in the Registration Statement. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Commission to declare the
Registration Statement effective reasonably promptly and will maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a period
of two (2) years or until all of the Shares have been sold, if sooner. The Consultant will cooperate fully with the Company in
the discharge of its obligations under this Section and will provide all information and enter into such further agreements as
may be required to have the Registration Statement declared effective.


 


5. The Consultant
hereby releases and discharges the Company, SPOAG and their respective officers, directors, executives, principals, employees,
heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, from all actions, causes of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money,
accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses,
damages, judgments, extents, executions, claims, and demands whatsoever, in law, admiralty or equity, which against the Consultant,
his successors and assigns ever had, now have or hereafter can, shall or may, have for, upon, or by reason of any matter, cause
or thing whatsoever from the beginning of the world to the effective date of this Agreement, except the balance of the fees remaining
unpaid after giving effect to assumption and payment under Sections 1 and 2, which balance shall remain outstanding and payable
in accordance with its terms. The Consultant represents and warrants that he has not assigned or transferred to any other person,
entity, or party any claim, cause of action, or other item that is, would be, or might be encompassed by the releases set forth
in this Section 5, and that no such assignment or transfer has occurred by operation of law or otherwise.


 


6. This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior
oral or written agreements, if any, between the parties with respect to such subject matter and, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, is not intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies hereunder. Any amendments hereto or modifications
hereof must be made in writing and executed by each of the parties. Any failure by a party to enforce any rights hereunder shall
not be deemed a waiver of such rights.


 


7. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to conflict of laws
principles. The parties agree that any suit, action or proceeding between the parties hereto arising out of or relating in any
manner to the Agreement shall be instituted exclusively in the federal or state courts located in the State of Nevada.


 


8. If any section,
